I've been eyeballin' MTG. PMI RDN been moving ever since the ultimate homeowner bailout contest started but MTG lagging- may close my eyes and buy with Obama more likely than not to get on board with some kind of foreclosure help.

I don't think rates are all that crucial at the moment. Jobs are, income is. Even with low rates, loan standards remain (appropriately) tight. And incomes are falling. And we have a huge backlog of existing homes, foreclosures, etc. All in all, any nice bounce in homies here should be shorted, not yet but soon.

Gov intervention. Obviously not directly in the homebuilders, but it looks like they're going to get more desperate in their bid to support home prices. More money well spent...

Jobs number tomorrow. We'll see but I'm going into tomorrow somewhat short - not heavy, but given the bounce the last few days having a few shorts here I think is ok.
